To create a project in MPM, you enter information using the Project Maintenance window.
The required information includes:
Project ID
Path for project files
Global ID
For full functionality of MPM, you must also complete the following fields:
Contract Start date
Contract Complete date
Baseline Rate Table
ETC Rate Table
Actuals Rate Table
Fiscal and Holiday Calendar
Fee Calculation (by WBS or Resource)
Before you can create a project, you must have defined a global set for the project in the Global Maintenance application. If you have not defined a specific global set for the project, you can use the Default global set, but this is not recommended. For information on defining global sets, see Introduction to Global Sets.
The MPM government-required reports contain data which is not tracked by MPM. You can enter values for the Header, Variance, and COM data in the Program Log and/or on the Header dialog. These values are saved with the project. You can then use the values repeatedly on multiple reports. The values appear as the default when requesting reports that use them.
